Fiorentina vs Atalanta live stream: How to watch Coppa Italia semi-final first leg online and on TV today

Fiorentina vs Atalanta today in the Coppa Italia has become a common fixture. For the fourth time in six seasons the Viola and La Dea meet in Italy's premier cup competition and — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

The teams are in and Fiorentina go with Nikola Milenkovic, Giacomo Bonaventura, Nico Gonzalez and Andrea Belotti in their starting lineup that looks as close to first-choice as the Viola are likely to get. Lucas Beltran also gets a start. For Atalanta, Sead Kolasinac, Marten de Roon, Teun Koopmeiners and Ademola Lookman all start as Gian Piero Gasparini selects his strongest possible XI. Mario Pasalic is also in from the off.

Fiorentina needed shootouts to overcome second-tier Parma and fellow Serie A side Bologna in the last two rounds but on each occasion held their nerve to advance. With a Europa Conference League quarter-final coming up, Vincenzo Italiano will rely on midfield conductor Arthur to pull the strings and Serbian warrior Nikola Milenkovic to lead the defence from center-back. The Viola know how to win a cup tie having knocked out tonight's opponents in the last 16 in 2019/20 and 2021/22 quarter-finals.

Atalanta start as favorites, currently sixth in Serie A and having lost just twice since December 23. La Dea knocked out AC Milan in the quarter-finals and are full of confidence after demolishing defending Serie A champions Napoli on Saturday. Top-scoring Dutch midfielder Teun Koopmeiners, along with compatriot Marten de Roon, provides the creative ballast for Gian Piero Gasperini, while former Everton winger Ademola Lookman has also enjoyed a fine season in Bergamo.
